- Now the joyful bells a-ring,
- All ye mountains of the Lord!
- Lift our hearts like birds a-winging,
- All ye mountains, praise the Lord!
- Now our festal season bringing
- Kinsmen all to bide and board,
- Sets our cheery voices singing:
- All ye mountains, praise the Lord!

- Dear our home as dear none other;
- Where the mountains praise the Lord!
- Gladly here our care we smother;
- Where the mountains praise the Lord!
- Here we know that Christ our brother
- Binds us all as by a cord:
- He was born of Mary mother
- Where the mountains praise the Lord!
3
- Cold the year, new whiteness wearing,
- All ye mountains, praise the Lord!
- Peace, good will to us a-bearing,
- All ye mountains praise the Lord!
- Now we all God's goodness sharing
- Break the bread and sheath the sword:
- Bright our hearts the signal flaring,
- All ye mountains, praise the Lord!
